Conversion formula

The conversion factor from centimeters to kilometers is 1.0E-5, which means that 1 centimeter is equal to 1.0E-5 kilometers:

1 cm = 1.0E-5 km

To convert 10000 centimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 10000 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from centimeters to kilometers. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm → 1.0E-5 km

10000 cm → L_(km)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in kilometers:

L_(km) = 10000 cm × 1.0E-5 km

L_(km) = 0.1 km

The final result is:

10000 cm → 0.1 km

We conclude that 10000 centimeters is equivalent to 0.1 kilometers:

10000 centimeters = 0.1 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 10 × 10000 centimeters.

Another way is saying that 10000 centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 10 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that ten thousand centimeters is approximately zero point one kilometers:

10000 cm ≅ 0.1 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately ten times ten thousand centimeters.
